  • Experience with experimental or causal analysis methods (A/B testing, causal inference, quasi-experimental design, or similar)
  • Experience using Databricks/Snowflake for querying and predictive modeling on large datasets preferred.
  • Experience with a data visualization tool (Tableau, Power BI, etc.) and building reporting for non-technical audiences.
